Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Yardley, PA

As a Specialist in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, with over 30 years of experience in the field of Psychotherapy I understand beginning therapy is not an easy decision to make. When the stress and worries in our lives become insurmountable, it can leave us feeling immobilized and sometimes depressed. We can become tired of talking about making changes in our lives but not know what direction to go. Perhaps circumstances can prevent us from living our best life. Through a collaborative process I can provide you with effective tools and insights that can help,

I have been in practice for over thirty years and I feel privileged to have become part of the local and clinical community through my general practice work, as well as, through my work in sexuality.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for my clients where I can assist you in healing, finding new coping skills and start feeling better.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques along with other interventions I have practiced over the years. I take an eclectic approach to meet each clients individual needs.

I can't say that I have an ideal client, as every client presents with their own unique set of strengths and challenges. I find myself drawn to clients whose lives have been significantly negatively impacted by the systems they belong to. Aiding clients with the tools and resources to work on breaking those generational cycles of trauma or poverty, is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a therapist. I truly believe that all clients have the ability to overcome whatever challenges they may be experiencing and achieve their personal goals. My only job is to help them develop the tools to do so.

My ideal client would be ready for a challenge. Someone who wants their worldview expanded, prepared to find internal and external connection with the world. My ideal client would be someone who also wants their race, sexuality, or gender affirmed by their clinician.

My ideal client would look for a non-judgmental and safe environment where they can find comfort in knowing that someone is ready to listen and provide support and validation. Someone who needs a clinician to assist them in processing their thoughts and feelings. Goals may vary according to the client, but I am here to help who I can!
